WAITING LIST TEMPORARILY CLOSED

We have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our waiting list due to the high level of demand on our service. We apologise that we are currently therefore unable to take any new referrals, but will review this on a regular basis and hope to reopen our waiting list by January 2026.

If you or your child are in need or urgent support please contact your GP, local CAMHS service, or A&E department.

Approaches we use:

Cognitive behavioural therapy
Motivational techniques
Systemic techniques
Narrative therapy
Mindfulness
Compassion focused therapy
Parenting training
EMDR
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Support for parents:

Parental involvement in their child's psychological therapy is agreed on an individual basis, and some joint or separate parent sessions are often recommended.
Working with parents on their own may also be appropriate.
We can also offer evidence-based programmes for parents to learn how to help their child with their anxiety.
